3 Our Process Our process begins with a top-down assessment of the short, intermediate, and long term landscape of the financial markets. We believe that by identifying a trend or a reversal of a trend in its early stages, we can add significant alpha to the portfolios we manage, with less beta. We monitor our proprietary indicators on a daily basis to get a feel for the overall global investment environment and invest or sentiment. We believe that investor psychology plays a major role in market movements. We also perform in-depth ratio analysis, to identify investments that we believe will likely exhibit relative outperformance and underperformance. We do this on an index, country, and sector level. We employ contrarian and out of the box analysis to take advantage of market dislocations. In order to add additional alpha to our portfolios, we will short those investments we think will significantly underperform due to country, sector, or company specific concerns. In addition to the extensive technical analysis we utilize, we combine an in-depth fundamental analysis so that we have the most current information on investments before we commit capital. We consistently monitor the fundamentals to ensure nothing has changed from our original thesis. Because we think that preserving wealth in volatile and declining markets is just as important as creating wealth in advancing cycles, we are able to raise outsized positions in cash and fixed income. This complements the advanced hedging strategies we employ when appropriate. We believe a nimble and active management strategy, based on extensive analysis and due diligence, will be rewarding regardless of the market environment. Our goal is to provide consistent and stable returns, while hedging volatility and downside. We think when used together, our portfolios are appropriate for a total asset allocation program. Individually, they can be used to compliment a current allocation that is not diversified in a specific investment category.
